    Which acid is called the "King of Chemicals"?

    Question #110058. Asked by armindasantana. (Oct 22 09 1:41 PM)


    Zbeckabee

    		Of all the acids, sulphuric acid is the most important one. In almost all industries, sulphuric acid is used directly or indirectly. Hence it is called the "King of chemicals". It is said that the material prosperity of a country may be determined by the amount of sulphuric acid consumed by that country.

    		"We may fairly judge of the commercial prosperity of a country from the amount of sulphuric acid it consumes."
